Battambang Museum
សារមន្ទីរខេត្តបាត់ដំបង
A small provincial museum displaying pre-Angkorian and Angkorian stone carvings, lintels and local archaeological finds.
The Battambang Museum sits on the west bank of the Sangker River at the southern end of the old town. Its collection is small but of good quality, including pre-Angkorian and Angkorian stone carvings, lintels, statues and pottery excavated from around Wat Banan and Phnom Sampov. It is a good place to learn the background before visiting the surrounding temples. Admission is about US$1–2. The museum generally closes at midday, so check hours on site. A visit takes about half an hour to an hour, and it can be combined on foot with the neighboring Wat Damrey Sor.
Opening hours
About 8–11 am and 2–5 pm
